It expanded to several states across the U.S. and opened at least nine locations in California, as well as 10 ATM vending machines. The bakery chain opened its first store outside of California in 2007, in Dallas, Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As of Wednesday afternoon, the current ownership hasn&#8217;t commented on the closures.<\/p>\n<p>Nelson stated that the closures would begin immediately.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
